TOPIC ✨RIGHTEOUSNESS MAKES US MASTERS ✨

  For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17).

Righteousness is the nature of God, which was imparted to your spirit when you were born again; it’s a gift from God to the whole world, but not everyone has received it. However, those who receive the gift of righteousness, according to the scriptures, shall reign in life! The Amplified version says, they shall reign as kings in life.

The word “reign” in Romans 5:17 above is actually a verb, which in the original Greek construction means “to king”; that expresses authority, dominion, and mastery. Righteousness makes us masters in life; we reign, or “king” in life, through righteousness. Righteousness-consciousness eliminates any sense of guilt, condemnation, or inferiority from us; it places us ahead and above Satan and his accusations. It also gives us the boldness and confidence to pray to God and expect answers; we’re unafraid and unashamed before Him, because we have His righteousness.

Without an understanding of righteousness, a Christian can’t live victoriously over the enemy. He’ll be subject to the elements of the world, not understanding the extent and potency of his authority in Christ. This is  why  you  must  keep  growing  in  the  knowledge  of God’s  Word.  Ephesians  4:14  says,  “That  we  henceforth be  no  more  children,  tossed  to  and  fro,  and  carried about  with  every  wind  of  doctrine,  by  the  sleight  of men,  and  cunning  craftiness,  whereby  they  lie  in  wait to deceive.”

Be  conscious  that  you’re  the  righteousness  of God  in  Christ  Jesus.  There’re  some  Christians  who experience  spiritual  attacks;  that’s  because  they  aren’t righteousness-conscious;  they  aren’t  living  the  Word. They  haven’t  come  to  the  realisation  that  they’re kings  in  life.  Isaiah  32:1  lets  us  know  that  kings  reign in righteousness.

By  virtue  of  your  new  life  in  Christ,  and  your position  as  a  righteous  king-priest,  the  whole  world is  subdued  before  you.  You  have  the  mastery  over Satan  and  his  cohorts  of  darkness;  you’re  a  champion for life! Glory to God!

PRAYER

Dear  Father,  I  thank  you  for  your  righteousness  in my  spirit,  which  has  made  me  a  master  over  Satan and  the  powers  of  darkness,  and  has  put  me  in  a position  of  advantage.  I  reign  and  rule  as  a  king, walking  in  mastery  and  victory  over  circumstances. The  world  is  subdued  before  me,  in  the  Name  of  the Lord Jesus. Amen.
